Book Cover & Preview Text
Dubai Wives weaves a complex multicultural tale of unraveling secrets and diverse, flawed characters.The lives of eight women collide in this opulent, culturally vibrant city on a journey of sisterhood, friendship, love, betrayal and the heartbreaking choices of its residents. We see Jewel, a beautiful but frustrated wife to her powerful Emirati husband, and Tara, a devout Muslim with a passionate secret, and Liliana, a tragic dancer in the seedy clubs of Dubai. A stirring tale encompassing tradition, identity, and faith, Dubai Wives takes the reader into the hidden world behind the walls of lavish mansions and into the back alleys of Dubai, from the hills of Morocco to the gloomy English countryside, from the slums of India to the glittering lights of the Burj Al Arab. It paints a portrait of a world where no one is who they seem to be…and where everything is possible.
